A SLC PLC is an early-generation controller that does not hold the PLC program rung descriptions and comments; you will need to have the most-recent program with rung descriptions and comments.  

The SLC-5/03 processor has a DH-485 port (similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet port, Channel 1, but is physically wider) and a DH-485/DF1/ASCII port (DB-9).  To program a SLC-5/03 you will need a communication cable.  A 1747-CP3 RS-232 serial cable will suffice, or a 1747-PIC box.

The last piece of the pie is communication software.  Yes, RSLogix500 will give you ability to program the PLC, RSLinx is required for the communication connection.  All A-B Logix PLCs require RSLinx for the communication; RSLinx is typically bundled with RSLogix500, but be forewarned you will need both installed.

The PanelView C600 has a built-in web service that can be used to design your application using a PC and web browser. The DesignStation software mentioned by AndrewG is used to develop an application offline (if you don't have the terminal available). According to RA's Product Compatibility & Download Center, DesignStation is for v1.070 and older firmware. It has been superseded by Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software. Below is a link to the PanelView Component user manual.
